Yes same here, the great inset days lol.
I've been asked to have 2 of my adhoc school children that day but it depends on whether all my EY's children need me that day, it's not looking like I will have any spaces for any schoolies anyway. Just my own 2 and they are usually a great help to me with the LO's.

Fingers crossed your hubby gets Christmas Day. We normally only have my partner for Christmas Day, so know how important that one day can be to your family xx

[loocyloo]

[Ripeberry]

[munch149]

I finish on the 23rd. Go back in August after maternity leave :-)

[bunyip]

I finish on Tuesday 23rd and start back on the following Monday, possibly Tuesday.

I was ready to work whatever required.

I chose to 'disappoint' one mum. They all had 4 weeks opportunity to tell me what they needed, then I closed on the days nobody had positively said they'd need me. I took full account of all who'd bothered to reply and no account of those who simply couldn't be bothered. Naturally, when I notified all parents of my closure dates, it was one of those who couldn't be ar5ed to reply who kicked off: "but I need you Christmas Eve." Yes, well not enough to mention it when she had the chance, so I'm not changing my plans.

So frustrating when you give them every opportunity and that happens. :(

[SYLVIA]

I thought I had a full house till xmas eve but it turns out that I will only have one mindee on tuesday.So I can get the last food bits on Monday, play all day tuesday and relax on Xmas eve, sounds good to me

This is why I now please myself and make sure I get the time off even though it's unpaid.. Have been mucked around too much :(

[rickysmiths]

Tuesday 23rd to 5th Jan with one little one on 2nd Jan.

[Mummits]

I finish on Thursday night but Friday to Sunday is the massive tedious trek to the in-laws so in my head holiday starts on Monday! I know, I should have more Christmas spirit of tolerance and goodwill but as my teenage son once said "I'm up and dressed = what more do you want!"

[Maza]

My last day is Monday 22nd. Can't wait. Hubby had wanted us to drive down to Cornwall to stay with friends for two or three days but it has fallen through and I am so pleased! Just want to chill out in my own home with my nearest and dearest for once with no one else's schedule dominating our days. Can't wait to pack away all the toddler toys and equipment for two whole weeks. Yippeeeee! x

[hectors house]

Finishing at 5 pm next Tuesday, then have one baby for half day on 29th (mum will pay for whole day and 2 other parents will be paying half fee), not working Tuesday or Wednesday as it's my BIG birthday on the Tuesday and going to London for couple of days, then back to normal on Friday 2nd.
